Two novels of true blue American heroines
The idea of the 'female warrior' in fiction once had great
commercial appeal and these two novels of the American Civil
War-which have been brought together for added value in this
Leonaur edition-are fine examples of the genre. The intrepid young
ladies of these stories are, in fact, fervent supporters of the
cause of the Union. Their tales of courage and daring-including the
concealing of the 'fair sex' in uniform, so that they can pass as
fighting soldiers-tell of bold exploits and great deeds of
audacious espionage behind enemy lines in the guise of loyal
Confederates. In reality there have been few wars where formidable
and determined women have failed to join the campaign and battle
line. The American Civil War was no exception and there are notable
examples of real life reflecting these exciting fictional exploits
on both sides of the conflict.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
While most studies of Shi'i Islam have focused upon Iran or the
Middle East, South Asia is another global region which is home to a
large and influential Shi'i population. This edited volume
establishes the importance of the Indian subcontinent, which has
been profoundly shaped by Shi'i cultures, regimes and populations
throughout its history, for the study of Shi'i Islam in the modern
world. The essays within this volume, all written by leading
scholars of the field, explore various Shi'i communities (both Isna
'Ashari and Isma'ili) in parts of the subcontinent as diverse as
Karachi, Lucknow, Bombay and Hyderabad, as well as South Asian
Shi'i diasporas in East Africa. Drawing from a range of
disciplinary perspectives including history, religious studies,
anthropology and political science, they examine a range of themes
relating to Shi'i belief, practice, piety and belonging, as well as
relations between Shi'i and non-Shi'i communities.

From June 12, 2020, until the passage of the state law making the
occupation a felony two months later, peaceful protesters set up
camp at Nashville's Legislative Plaza and renamed it for Ida B.
Wells. Central to the occupation was Justin Jones, a student of
Fisk University and Vanderbilt Divinity School whose place at the
forefront of the protests brought him and the occupation to the
attention of the Metro Nashville Police Department, state and US
senators, and Governor Bill Lee. The result was two months of
solidarity in the face of rampant abuse, community in the face of
state-sponsored terror, and standoff after standoff at the gates of
the people's house with those who claimed to represent them. In
this, his first book, Jones describes those two revolutionary
months of nonviolent resistance against the state's soldiers who
sought to dehumanize its citizens. The People's Plaza is a
rumination on the abuse of power, and a vision of a more just,
equitable, anti-racist Nashville-a vision that kept Jones and those
with him posted on the plaza through intense heat, unprovoked
arrests, vandalism, theft, and violent suppression. It is a
first-person account of hope, a statement of intent, and a
blueprint for nonviolent resistance in the American South and
elsewhere.
The personal memoirs of Ralph Burbridge in his own words. The last
surviving member of the crew of the All American, the famous B-17
that barely returned to base with a badly damaged rudder and
stabilizer, tells the story of his life: how he lived, and what he
did. This brief autobiography highlights the events of his life.
